Although Li Xiaoxin tried his best to comfort Xiao Xuanzi, and Li Jinglong also made Xiao Xuanzi happy from time to time, Xiao Xuanzi's mood was a little low in the days after the explosion.

Lin Shuze was still as usual, training his younger siblings while studying some messy things in his laboratory, at least in the eyes of Xiao Xuanzi and Li Xiaoxin.

"Look here, Xiaoyong, don't be distracted all the time!"

"oh!"

"This is the part that absorbs energy. Pay attention. When the magic circle is activated, pay attention to the flow of energy in the magic core and magic crystal. What do you see?"

"Brother, the energy is rotating!" The answer was not Lin Xiaoyong, but Lin Xiaomei. Lin Shu looked at Lin Xiaomei in surprise. This was the first time Lin Shu took a basic magic energy class with his brother and sister. The props used in the demonstration were none other than Lin Xiaomei.

Those magic circles made by trees.

However, how Lin Xiaomei could sense the flow of magic energy and the form of its operation is really incredible! Could it be that Lin Xiaomei was born with a strong soul? This is not absolutely impossible. Maybe her

The origin is as mysterious as Lin Shu, or it is like Ao Yun's situation.

Lin Shu looked at Lin Xiaomei in surprise, and carefully felt her soul power, but did not find anything special. Perhaps Lin Xiaomei was one of those innate soul power that was relatively concentrated, but the intensity was not.

Very strong, this is what is often said as a person with spiritual roots.

Lin Shu couldn't help but shook his head, why did he always meet some strange people? Speaking of which, the most normal one was probably Lin Xiaoyong.

"Did the little sister see it or feel it?"

"I saw it. I could only feel it vaguely before, but now I can see some spiral-like twists."

"Is there any color?"

"No, it's just distortion!"

Lin Shu reached out and patted his little sister on the head and said with a smile: "My little sister is great. Okay, starting tonight, you can practice our family's secret refining skills."

"Oh, that's great! That's great!" Lin Xiaomei jumped up and jumped a few times. Then she jumped on Lin Shu's body and twisted around like a baby, venting her inner joy. Only her second brother could practice this.

Lin Xiaomei was so jealous of the divine refining technique. Now she could finally start practicing it herself, how could she not be happy.

Lin Shu turned his face and saw Lin Xiaoyong's eyes staring at the sundry rack. He couldn't help but look curiously at the sundry rack. It turned out that there were a few flat beetles crawling in the corners of the sundry rack. And these...

The flat beetle is quite small, and its color is slightly darker than usual, with a blue-purple light emitting from its carapace.

Lin Shu smiled. He was a child after all, and he liked these little animals. But when did he have these residents in his laboratory? Is it because of the rain?

Lin Shu was about to greet Lin Xiaoyong when suddenly his heart moved and he couldn't help but look at the beetles again. Then he patted the little girl in his arms, turned to Xiaoyong and said: "Xiaoyong, go turn off the lights."

Lin Xiaoyong glanced at Lin Shu in surprise, but still stood up and walked towards the switch, while Lin Shu walked to the window and pulled the window shutter shut with a clatter.

"Haha, sure enough!" These beetles actually still emit a faint light in the dark environment. These are not ordinary lights, but the light of magic energy fluctuations. Although it is extremely dim, in front of Lin Shu's soul,

Still nowhere to hide.

Lin Xiaomei was held by Lin Shu's hand all the time. She heard her brother murmuring in the darkness. She couldn't help but raise her face to look, but it was so dark that she couldn't see anything. She looked around the room curiously.

I tried to see something that interested my brother, but unfortunately there was nothing.

"Open it!"

"oh!"

With a popping sound, light returned to the room, and Lin Shu also opened the shutters of the windows, revealing the mountain village scenery with a slanting wind and drizzle outside.

"Okay, let's continue!"

Lin Shu glanced at the beetles and continued to teach the two children. He did not mention the strange things he had discovered just now, nor did he touch the strange beetles. He did not even look at them and ignored them completely.

It wasn't until after lunch that Lin Shu winked at Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong cooperated by calling Lin Shu to his office.

"What's the matter? Have you discovered anything new?" Li Jinglong asked curiously.

Lin Shu looked at Li Jinglong's office carefully, especially in the corners, paying attention to see if there were any strange little animals, but there didn't seem to be anything special.

"I have some questions that I would like to ask the teacher. Can you please invite Leng Feng to come in?"

Li Jinglong looked at Lin Shu strangely, and Lin Shu smiled helplessly. Li Jinglong raised his hand and clicked on an inconspicuous position on the desktop. The halo of magic energy on his fingertips flashed away, and the office door was immediately blocked by Leng Feng.

Pulled open.

"Something's wrong."

"Well, come in and talk!"

After watching Leng Feng close the door of the office, Li Jinglong looked at Lin Shu and said, "Tell me, what is it?"

Leng Feng knew that Li Jinglong valued Lin Shu very much, so he also paid great attention to Lin Shu. However, apart from finding that Lin Shu was very smart, he didn't find anything special about him.

"That's it, Mr. Leng, can you check if there are any living entities other than us in this room, but it's best not to let people outside the room find out that we are doing this inspection."

"Okay, and then add a protective barrier, is that okay?"

"That's great!"

Leng Feng then chanted a spell, and a small green-blue circle of light formed on his finger, and then slowly spread to the entire room. No corner was spared. Lin Shu looked at such a slow casting in surprise.

You must know that fast casting is a world-class problem, while slow casting is more difficult than fast casting, and it is understandable how difficult it is to control it so finely.

However, Leng Feng was still very fast. In about a few seconds, Leng Feng completed the entire spell casting process, and then quickly recited a short spell and placed a powerful barrier on the entire room. This wind-based barrier

The world can basically isolate the sound and the penetration of magic energy.

After doing all this, Leng Feng looked at Lin Shu and said, "Okay, no other life forms have been found."

Lin Shu nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the window and pulled up the shutter. He looked at Li Jinglong and said, "Teacher, what I want to ask is if there is an insect that looks like a flat beetle, but it belongs to Warcraft."

Organism? It is larger than the flat beetle and darker in color, but there is no difference at all."

Li Jinglong looked at Lin Shu strangely, then frowned and thought. Leng Feng also paid attention to Li Jinglong. He had heard something from Lin Shu's words. Obviously, Lin Shu had discovered the existence of that kind of beetle in this building.

And he was very suspicious of the origin of that beetle, so he asked Li Jinglong so cautiously.

If there is really a problem with these beetles, then the person who dares to reach out to Li Jinglong is definitely not a simple guy, so Leng Feng is also very concerned about this.

Li Jinglong thought for a long time, and seemed to have found some relevant information from quite a long time ago. His face was full of memories, and he said slowly: "The animal you mentioned reminds me of a long time ago.

An experience of visiting ancient ruins was more than forty years ago. I was still following my teacher, and received a request from the Demon Research Society. We went to a newly discovered ancient ruins to join an expedition team."

Lin Shu saw that the teacher seemed to be going into a long speech, so he consciously found a stool and sat down, signaling Leng Feng to be patient and listen slowly.

"That is a monument that is tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. It should be a religious place or a witchcraft altar. We found many ancient plant specimens and suspected pharmaceutical formulas there. That time,

We made great discoveries about the application of plants in the ancient witchcraft of the Eastern Continent, and discovered some new ways of configuring medicines, so the teacher was very happy at the time, and I also remember it deeply."

"Teacher, there is nothing about beetles." Lin Shu reminded.

Li Jinglong chuckled and seemed to have returned to reality from his memories. He squinted his eyes and said, "The beetles are about to appear, haha. The things you mentioned that are similar to flat beetles exist in large numbers in that ruins. Of course they are not alive, nor are they alive."

It was not a corpse, but was carved in various places in the ruins. It seemed to be a kind of worship object of this religion. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary flat object.

beetles, but later a colleague who studies animals told me that this so-called flat beetle should be called the dark scarab. It is precisely because this beetle is full of the ruins that archaeologists can quickly determine that the ruins are the ancient religion of black witchcraft.

Altar. And this so-called dark scarab, which is darker in color, is a kind of magical beast, not advanced, but it is a very good medium."

"Psychic medium? Is that a medium that casts soul spells?"

"Yes, this is the current term. In ancient times, it should be called a medium for performing witchcraft!"

Lin Shu suddenly realized that his office seemed to have been invaded by someone from the soul system, and he might also be proficient in ancient witchcraft. Thinking of the mystery of witchcraft, Lin Shu had a headache.

"Is there still a group that studies witchcraft?"

"Of course there are, but not many, and they are all quite low-key. The researchers among them are usually soul mages. It is said that your arcanist named Lin is also proficient in ancient witchcraft."

Li Jinglong said with a smile, and then asked curiously: "You are asking this matter so seriously, shouldn't you have found a dark scarab in this building?"

Lin Shu grinned: "Teacher is a teacher, I just asked you because I saw it! Also, how to deal with these dark scarabs?"

Li Jinglong sighed and looked up at Leng Feng. Leng Feng nodded knowingly: "Leave it to me. Where did you find it?"

"My laboratory, it seems that Xuanzi's laboratory also has it, I didn't pay attention to it elsewhere."

"I understand, let's take this opportunity to catch the person behind it first."

"You can make up your own mind, safety is the first priority." Li Jinglong said helplessly: "It seems that we have to go to the Demonic Research Institute. If that doesn't work, we will go back to the capital."
Chapter completed!
